BIM Essential Guide For BIM Execution Plan

CEOs Message
Dear readers,
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has gained much traction in recent
years as digital construction technology that will fundamentally transform
the building and construction industry practice in the delivery of an
excellent built environment. It is a game changing technology that will
improve the construction productivity as well as the level of
integration and collaboration across the various disciplines in the
construction value chain. It is therefore important for the
industry to embrace the technology with clarity.
The BIM Essential Guides are part of the industrys efforts to demystify BIM and to give clarity
on the requirement of BIM usage at different stages of a project.
Under the leadership of the BIM Steering Committee chaired by Er Lee Chuan Seng, Emeritus
Chairman, Beca Carter, and comprising of leaders in BIM, the BIM Managers Forum has
contributed much time and effort to compile the various best practices to make this Guide
possible over a short span of time. We would like to thank them for their contribution.
We hope that every BIM user can truly reap the benefits of BIM by integrating it into his/her
day-to-day workflow from feasibility study to facility management. We hope that BIM users
can use these guides as a platform to jumpstart their BIM adoption, before they leap to
greater heights, innovating and transforming their workflow.
BIM is a journey. We envisage that it will grow with time and will inspire more advanced and
innovative use of BIM. I would like to encourage all BIM practitioners to join in this industry
effort to grow this Guide into a wealth of BIM knowledge.

BIM Essential Guide For BIM Execution Plan

INTRODUCTION

The BIM Essential Guide for BIM Execution Plan (BEP) serves to jump start the development of a BEP for a
project. The BEP provides a baseline document, approved by the Employer, to guide the project team in achieving
goals set with regards to BIM deliverables throughout the project.
The BEP specifies the roles and responsibilities of project members when using Building Information Modelling
(BIM) at different stages of a project. It contains details with regards to the BIM deliverables and the process
through which the deliverables are created, maintained and shared, in order to meet a set of project goals.
Typical content of a BEP includes the following:

Project information;
Project members;
Project goals;
BIM use cases for each stages of a project;
BIM deliverables for each BIM use case,
Model author and users for each BIM deliverables;
Model elements, level of details and attributes for each BIM deliverable;
Process for BIM creation, maintenance, release and collaboration;
Technical Environment; and
Others

The BEP is usually defined at the start of the project and can be updated to accommodate new project members
or new uses of BIM. All updates should be made with the permission of the Employer or his appointed BIM
Manager.
The BEP can be defined by the client, and made reference by the Principal Agreement via the BIM Conditions (see
BIM Conditions Version 2 / Essential Guide to BIM Conditions).

(III) ARCHITECTURAL BIM MODELLING GUIDELINES


General Architectural Guidelines:
1)

2)
3)

4)
5)
6)
7)
8)

9)

Architectural modelling is carried out in the following stages: Conceptual, Preliminary Design,
Detailed Design, Construction and As-Built. The types of models produced at each stage depend on
the BIM deliverables required.
If the design has precast or prefab design then those elements can be placed as Objects.
The building elements must be created using the correct tools (Wall tool, Slab tool, etc.). If the
features of BIM authoring tool are not sufficient for modelling the element, the required building
elements must be created using other appropriate objects. In that case, define the "Type" of the
element correctly.
2D can be used to complement the BIM model when the elements are smaller than the agreed size,
e.g. Elements smaller than 100mm do not need to be modelled.
2D standard details can be used to complement the BIM model.
Building Elements must be modelled separately for each storey.
Required Parameters: Type, Material, ID, Size. Type is required for the Quantity Take-off.
If more than one tool is used to model certain elements then the elements should be grouped and
identified correctly by "Type", e.g. Slabs and Beams can be used to model the Road. The elements
must be grouped as one and define the "Type" as a "Road"
Structural elements should be modelled based on the information (e.g. Size) from Structural
Engineers. The alternative is to link or work in a shared model with the Structural Engineers.

Stages

Conceptual

Elements
Topo
(Existing Site)

Modelling Guidelines
Existing site's contour and location should be
modelled based on the land surveyor's information
(spot levels, northing and easting).
Renovation Projects (A&A): If the existing buildings
were not in BIM, then 2D drawings of the existing
building can be used to complement the BIM model.

Topo (Proposed
Site)
Massing
(Buildings)

Proposed site's cuts and fills of earth should be


shown with a proposed site Element
Shape, Location and Orientation of building in site
should be modelled using massing element.
Name/identify the Mass element clearly, e.g. BLK 1,
PODIUM etc.

Remarks
Follow BIM eSubmission guidelines
for the content and
colour code of
existing/proposed site.

Output: Concept
model that shows site
arrangements and
building geometries to
share with the project
members.

Site elements like Trees, Boundary, Roads, IC, etc can


be drawn in 2D.

Preliminary
Design
Note: Conceptual

General
Requirement

If the actual dimension is not available then model


using the nominal dimension or expected dimension.
Examples
- Door opening modelled without considering the
fittings.

19

Output: Authorities
submission (URA).
Refer to BCA BIM eSubmission
requirement and

BIM Essential Guide For BIM Execution Plan

Stages
model is further
developed into
Preliminary Design
model (Massing of
the selected design
should be converted
to real building
elements like Wall,
Slab, Door, Window,
etc...)

Elements

Wall

Modelling Guidelines
- Walls modelled without considering the different
layers thickness.

Remarks
Guidelines. Use BIM eSubmission Template.

Note: Since the designers has the libraries and


templates with element settings, they can model the
actual size
Model all the Walls (Brick, Dry wall, Glass, Concrete,
wood, etc...) from Finish Floor Level to soffit of
Slab/Beam above.

Output: Model for coordination with


Engineers.

When the Wall spans across different heights, if the


BIM authoring tool permits model as a single Wall
with varying height then model as one Wall.
Alternative is to model as multiple Walls.
Distinguish the internal and external Walls by "Type"
parameter.
Slab / Floor

Top of Slab = Finished Floor Level


When there is a slope in the Slab or the Slab has a
special shape and the BIM authoring tool does not
have the functionality to create such Slabs, then
create the slab geometry using other tools and
define the Type as a slab.

Door

Place the Door object with nominal dimensions and


parameters required for Preliminary Design.

Window

Place the Window object with nominal dimensions


and parameters required for Preliminary Design.

Column

Model the Columns on the desired locations from


Structural Floor Level to Structural Floor Level for the
Preliminary Design co-ordination with Structural
Engineer.
Columns must be modelled by their outer
dimensions, taking into consideration the thickness
of the finish and structure.
Create objects for Columns with special shapes and
cross sections.

Roof

Model using the Roof or Slab object and define the


"Type" as Roof. The supporting structures can be
modelled with general objects or beams.

Others

If there is a need to model more elements than what


is specified in the Preliminary Design based on the
project, refer to the Detailed Design stage. Model

3)
4)

5)
6)
7)
8)
9)

The structural consultant produces both an analysis model and a physical model (Structural BIM)
with actual member size and position. The model will be used for documentation. These documents
cover the Structural BIM only.
Structural modelling is carried out in the following stages: Conceptual, Preliminary, Detail,
Construction and As-Built. The types of models produced at each stage depend on the BIM
deliverables required.
If the design has precast or prefab design. The part can be designed and modelled by a specialist and
incorporated/linked into the model for reference.
Structural BIM covers all load-bearing concrete, wood and steel structures, as well as non-loadbearing concrete structures. The basic building elements used are Wall, Slab, Beam, Column and
Lattice. The building elements must be created using the correct tools (Wall tool, Slab tool, etc.). If
the features of BIM authoring tool are not sufficient for modelling the element, the required building
elements must be created using other appropriate objects. In that case, define the "Type" of the
element correctly.
The model can be phased and divided for various ST submissions as per the project
planning/individual firm's practice.
Rebar and Joint details can be done in Detailed Design Stage based on the capability of the BIM
authoring tool.
2D or 2D standard details can be used to complement the BIM model when the elements are smaller
than the agreed size, e.g. Elements Smaller than 100mm do not need to be modelled.
2D can be used for loading plans.
2D can be used for the column schedule when the BIM authoring tool has limitations. The shape and
cutting of each column should be included in the schedule.

23

BIM Essential Guide For BIM Execution Plan

10) Building Elements must be modelled separately for each storey


11) Required Parameters: Type, Material, ID, Size. Type is required for the Quantity Take-off.
12) If more than one tool is used to model certain elements then the elements should be grouped and
identified correctly by "Type". E.g. Individual beams can be used to model the roof truss the
elements must be grouped as one and define the "Type" as a "Truss"

Foundation
Strip
Foundation
Slab / Roof Slab

Modelling Guidelines
If the BIM authoring tool has relevant objects to
represent the foundation elements then place them
in the correct level and with the relevant parameter.
Alternative is to use Slab, Column and Wall to
represent foundation elements. Group them and
define the "Type" correctly.

Top of Slab = Structural Floor Level


Multiple Slabs need to be placed if the levels,
thickness, span direction and material are different.
The soffit of the structural slab should be shown.

Beam

When there is a slope in the Slab or the Slab with a


special shape and the BIM authoring tool does not
have the functionality to create such Slabs, then
create the slab geometry using other tools and
define the Type as a slab.
Top of Beam = As per design (Up stand Beam or
Down hang Beam)
Create objects for Beams with special shapes and
cross sections, e.g. Tapering and haunch.

Truss

Model with multiple elements and group them as a


truss. Note: Some BIM authoring tools have a
function to automate this process.

Column

Model from the Structural Floor level to Structural


Floor Level of Slab below.

Wall

Create objects for Columns with special shapes and


cross sections.
All Load bearing Walls and concrete Walls (non-load
bearing) need to be modelled, e.g. Core Walls, Shear
Walls, Retaining Walls, Diaphragm Walls.
If the Walls are between floors then model from
Structural Floor Level to Structural Floor Level of Slab
below else the Walls need to model to the correct
levels.
When the Wall spans across different heights, if the
BIM authoring tool permits model as a single Wall
with varying height then model as one Wall.
Alternative is to model multiple Walls.

Staircase, Step
and Ramps

Model only the structure part of the Staircase, Steps


and Ramps.
